combining fabric with steel

It is an extreme contrast in media, but it really works for me. Trisha Hassler combines her talent in working with fabric, along with metal fabrication, to turn out some interesting art pieces.

Trish Hassler, from the Dwellings series

Hassler is a lifetime quilter, and award-winning Oregon artist. She works with torch cut steel, and with fabric, needle and thread. There is so much to study in her intricate work, from the tiny knotted details to the texture and rough finished edges of the cut steel.

I like the contrast between materials and the bold color schemes that she chooses.
